Russia Unleashes Carpet Bombing of Ukrainian Positions Using New Drones
Russian forces have started carpet bombing Ukrainian positions with the help of “Inferno” special drone bombers in a number of areas of the special military operation, the developer Rustehnodron told Sputnik.
"The Inferno drone is equipped with nine slots for dropping grenades. In the course of a combat mission, it flies over the Ukrainian trenches, opens bomb hatches and drops grenades in a series of three. It turns out to be analogous to carpet bombing in aviation. As a result, the enemy personnel gets casualties, killed and wounded. Also, the drone can effectively bomb lightly armored vehicles," a company representative said.
The Inferno carries a four-kilogram payload, which can include VOG-17 grenades, GP-25 grenades, and specially manufactured factory ammunition for dropping with fragmentation and shaped charges. The UAV has a range of five kilometers.
